I have google home successfully integrated with Homey. I can start flows seamlessly by talking to Google Home as much as I want. Now Google keeps on suggesting that I can add a flow card ’say something’ to be able to talk again in the same flow. (In dutch: je flow is gestart je kunt zeg eens kaart…

Hi Frank, How can I start a “Homey Flow” within Google assist? I use different action within Google but I never saw a HomeyFlow in Google Assist

The integration of Google Home and Homey is very well described in Homey support pages [image] Google Assistant integreren met Homey (directe integratie) Je kunt Homey op twee manieren verbinden met Google Assistant: De directe integratie maakt het mogelijk om apparaten die aan Homey ge…

Ik heb het opgelost door mijn flow te starten met een Virueel Apparaat. Stel ik wil mijn airco aanzetten! Maak dan een Virtueel apparaat aan genaamd Airco. Deze zet je in je “When” kaartje, waarna je de rest kan aanpassen wat je wilt dat er gaat gebeuren. Zo voorkom je het geen wat je nu hebt. V…

Thanks for the suggestion. Though that will not work for all my flows. For instance I am telling my Homey (via Google) to set the radio of my Marantz receiver to a specific channel. I doubt whether this can be done via virtual device… Still hoping someone has the final solution :thinking:

Just do as Google says and add such a card :joy: It’s very dangerous these times not listening to Google, with al the access they have, they can make your life hell :wink:

Actually I did for one flow. Thinking that after that, Google would be intelligent enough to understand that I know how to do this and it could stop hinting. Unfortunately Google is quite stubborn, so this didn’t work. Still hoping someone has the final solution, but fear nobody does. :unamused:

Why don’t you just create a virtual device that you use as a trigger for the flow? You could then tell Google to turn on the virtual device that in Homey, when switched on, triggers the flow you want. The flow, in the case you mentioned, turns on the Marantz, delayed switch to Radio Channel ”XX”. …

Yeah that would solve this usecase but it does not solve other usecases. Or…at least it would be rather strange workaround for other usecases. For instance I have a flow in which I tell google to ask Homey to increase the volume of zone 2 of my Marantz receiver. In your suggestion I would have to m…

I suppose you don’t have an Marantz with HEOS support? I do and Google Assistant have support for HEOS, but not fully in Europe yet. But I can at least, when I have started for example Spotify music in Zone 2, tell google just ”skip song” ”turn volume down” etc. And by the way, you dont have to tel…

Nope, no HEOS :frowning: And yes indeed I don’t have to add the words “ask homey” when having a virtual device synced with google. However I still think it is rather awkward to say Hey Google, turn on volume zone 2 when i want to increase the volume… I do appreciate your effort of trying to help …
